Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Germany. The Kingdom of Saxony, where the coin was issued, was one of the German states that was involved in World War I, and the coin's minting was likely a way to commemorate the war effort and raise morale among the population.
